Inference on common parameters in panel data models with individual-specific fixed effects is a classic example of … small), but this solution is not applicable to all panel data models of interest. Another solution, which applies to a … larger class of models, is "large-T" bias correction [pioneered by Hahn and Kuersteiner (Econometrica 70(4):1639-1657, 2002 …

Bias correction can often improve the finite sample performance of estimators. We show that the choice of bias … estimate of the bias is asymptotically linear. It is also shown that bootstrap, jackknife, and analytical bias estimates are … estimators the straightforward bootstrap bias correction gives the same higher-order variance as more complicated analytical or …

We propose the double robust Lagrange multiplier (DRLM) statistic for testing hypotheses specified on the minimizer of the population continuous updating objective function. The (bounding) χ2 limiting distribution of the DRLM statistic is robust to both misspecification and weak identification,...

Missing data or missing values are a common phenomenon in applied panel data research and of great interest for panel … data unit root testing. The standard approach in the literature is to balance the panel by removing units and/or trimming a … common time period for all units. However, this approach can be costly in terms of lost information. Instead, existing panel …

We present a simple yet effective variable selection method for the two-fold nested subarea model, which generalizes the widely-used Fay-Herriot area model. The twofold subarea model consists of a sampling model and a linking model, which has a nested-error model structure but with unobserved...

The bias arises in settings with many regressors because the normalized OLS design matrix remains asymptotically … random and correlates with the regression error when only weak (but not strict) exogeneity holds. This bias' magnitude … increases with the number of regressors and their average autocorrelation. We propose an innovative approach to bias correction …

This paper studies method of simulated moments (MSM) estimators that are implemented using Bayesian methods, specifically Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Motivation and theory for the methods is provided by Chernozhukov and Hong (2003). The paper shows, experimentally, that confidence intervals...
